W3C Process Document

The W3C Process Document undergoes
similar consensus-building processes as documents that are part of the
Recommendation Track process, with the Advisory
Board acting as the sponsoring Working Group.

The Advisory Board initiates review of a Process Document as follows:

The Chair of the Advisory Board sends a call for review to the Advisory
Committee and other W3C groups.

After comments have been formally
addressed and the document possibly modified, the Team seeks endorsement
from the Members by initiating an Advisory
Committee Review of a Proposed Process Document. The review period MUST last at least four
weeks.
